Collis Ta'eed on Oct 14th 2008 with 5 comments

Today and tomorrow – depending on where you are in the world – it’s Blog Action Day 2008 and I’m happy to announce the “Solving Poverty” contest badges and tees are up for sale on CafePress. All proceeds from the sales will be sent to Kiva as loans for entrepreneurs in developing nations.

The CafePress Store

The buttons and tees are available over at a CafePress store set up specially for these badges and tees. Badges are $5 and Tees are $25 – after CafePress’ costs $2 and $7 goes to charity.

Visit the CafePress Store and Grab a Badge.

The Winners and Honourable Mentions

A Big Thank You!

So first of all a big thank you to all the designers and artists who contributed work, it was tough choosing winners – especially as I sorta left it kinda close to the last minute so thank you to everyone who responded and sent through the right artwork!

I’m sending out a set of emails and Flickrmails to all 13 finalists to arrange for you all to open Kiva accounts to make your loans! Having done some loaning on behalf of Envato, I must admit it’s actually quite fun and after a while they generally get paid back and you can loan the money out again.

    We wonder, how come some of the winners won. Since some don’t qualify and don’t have the artwork in the dimensions needed.

    Let me just quote from the post.

    ” Making Sure Your Already Submitted Entry Qualifies

    If you already entered the contest, but didn’t include a link to the artwork at proper dimensions, then be sure to do so. Submit a high quality JPG image at the size of: 10 inches by 10 inches at 200 pixels per inch. Here is the format link and the corresponding formatting page on Cafepress.

    The easiest way to do that is to link to the artwork at the specified dimensions within the description of your entry. This artwork is what goes on the t-shirt, not a mockup. An example of the image displayed in the Flickr group is fine, as long as you link to the usable artwork at the proper dimensions. Keep in mind new entries will not be accepted, but you should provide the proper artwork for entries already submitted. “

    Saw this on PSD Tuts.

    I really like the Luis Alberto Badiali one, very simple yet quite effective.
    Gw to all.

    This just show you how subjective design could be. I personally would not have ranked them in that particular order , but good job. Congratulations to the winners.
